- Tammy Bruce, State Department spokeswoman, criticized UNESCO’s `outsized focus on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals`, while White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said UNESCO `supports woke, divisive cultural and social causes`.

- With UNESCO funding in mind, the US exit follows withdrawals from other UN agencies like the World Health Organization and UN Human Rights Council.
